[Log] You Never Had the Head For All That Bigger Picture Stuff

[wilder]

Who: Colette Brunel, Genis Sage, Lloyd Irving, Martel Yggdrasil, Raine Sage, Sheena Fujibayashi, Yuan Ka-Fai, Zelos Wilder AND YOU
What: Joint Nightmare since for some reason they all share the same fear of zombie angels and crazy godmod teenagers
When: This Weekend
Where: Dream Land
Rating: PG-13 to R

[When arriving in this dream, you'll find yourself in various parts of Paradisa whether it be the castle or the grounds. And boy, do things sure look different. The town is nothing more but rubble, with the farmlands surrounding it razed and salted. There is no sign of any towns person still being alive. The castle still stands, but it seems to lack the life it once had.]

[As for the residents? Well, they got a worst fate than the townspeople. If you come across most residents, there's a good amount of changes. First noticeable thing is they now have wings (some like fairies while most have typical white bird angel wings). They all seem to have a red crystal embedded on them. But worst of all? They are completely devoid of any personality or free thought. Their eyes seem dead and they only seem to respond to the wishes of the one who caused this]

[If you're lucky, you might come across someone who hasn't succumb to this fate - they seem to have taken to hiding in the forest or the mountains. If not? Well...good luck.]

[OOC: TLDR TIME YAY! A joint dream where essentially Mithos Yggdrasil showed up in paradisa and took things over! Pretty much meaning he destroyed the town and turned every resident into zombie-angels. The Symphonian cast (including Mithos cough) will be all over this, but anyone is free to participate in this dream too! If you wish to do so, we got a number of options if you want to more!

OPTION A - Returning Resident/ just wandered into this room.
You just wandered into this or have no idea what's going on. Try not to get killed by angels.

OPTION B - Survivor.
You remember this and don't know it's just a dream. You remember when Mithos Yggdrasil started turning residents into angels, razing the town and claiming himself god. You were among one of the few lucky ones who escaped, who are currently in hiding and either want to find a way to take down Mithos- or find a way out into the Dead Zone where his hand has not reached yet. Maybe you're hiding in the rubble of the city, or the mountains or the forest. Try not to get killed by angels.

OPTION C - Former Angel.
You remember this and don't know it's just a dream. You remember when Mithos Yggdrasil started turning residents into angels, razing the town and claiming himself god. But you were unlucky, and were among the residents who got turned into the mindless drones. You remember how you were forced to kill all the townspeople, help in turning fellow residents into mindless drones like you. But you got lucky in the way that someone saved you, put a keycrest (fancy piece of metal) on your crystal so you regained your mind. You're still an angel- you still don't eat, sleep and maybe even your sense of touch is diminished or gone- but at least you have a mind and soul again. Plus the enhanced senses, strength and reflexes are really nice too. Try not to get caught again.

OPTION D - Angel
You remember this and don't know it's just a dream. You remember when Mithos Yggdrasil started turning residents into angels, when he razed the town, when he claimed himself God of a now lifeless land. But you were unlucky, and were among the residents who got turned into the mindless drones. You have enhanced senses, strength, reflexes and wings. On the flipside, you don't eat, sleep, feel and talking is optional too (since many angels have no voices). You feel nothing. All you desire to do is follow Mithos and his great plan. Have fun.

Sheena | Angel

[ninjainviolet]

[Senses alert, Sheena moved quietly through the town, looking for her target--or targets. She had only one objective, and she was determined to see it through.

Anyone who knew her in another time, on another world, would wonder at the change in her. Gone was the friendly klutz who had a weakness for children; in its place was what Sheena was always meant to be:

A cold-blooded assassin, confident in the skills taught to her by her father--the man she once affectionately called "Grandpa".

None of that affection existed anymore, either, having disappeared the moment Mithos recruited her as one of his Beings, free from discrimination and guilt as she mindlessly followed his orders and used those skills against whoever he wished--friend and foe alike--without any semblance of guilt on her features.

And now, she continued the hunt, carrying out her Lord's orders with an impassive and cold expression and without question--so unlike the emotional, vibrant person she once was who would have turned the tables without hesitation at the merest thought that what he was doing was wrong.]

survivor!

[ino]

[Also in the town tonight is another assassin, though her goals are vastly different than Sheena's. If there's anything she hates, it's people with a taste for indiscriminate violence, and Mithos is certainly just like that. She's kept herself on the down low for some time now, trying to stay out of the way of trouble ... but it's about time she got some decent reconnaissance done, if the survivors ever want to take the castle back.

So she'll be moving through the town in a disguise -- she's had enough information to figure out some of Mithos' recruits, anyways. It takes the least amount of effort and energy for her to change into a form that exactly resembles Colette, so that's what she's done. Now the question is whether or not she can pass for a comrade of the Angels ...]

:D

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena's tastes aren't Mithos' tastes, but unfortunately, she's beyond explaining that to anyone--former friend and foe alike. And Ino had been a friend at one time--a sister-like presence in Sheena's life--but now, she's nothing more than a target. And the former Chief of Mizuho's targets aren't to be recruited; they are to be eliminated--permanently.

Sheena's head swiveled slowly from side to side, looking and listening. Spying someone that is familiar on many levels, she approaches slowly, Mithos' commands concerning Colette echoing in her mind and stops just in front of her, head canted to the side.]

Survivor

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler's been doing his best to avoid the angels, really. They're a lot of trouble and he doesn't want to hurt anyone. ESPECIALLY not people who used to be his friends.

So when he sees Sheena, he drops down behind some rubble, one hand moving to the axe strapped to his back. He doesn't want to use it, but if it comes to it, he'll have to. For now, he keeps absolutely still, hoping she'll just pass him by]

Heh. Heh. Heh. :P

[ninjainviolet]

[Unfortunately for Once-ler, Sheena isn't as oblivious to some things as she used to be--especially scuffling noises she picks up with her enhanced hearing. Wings unfurling, she lifts herself quietly off the ground and heads off in that direction with hardly a sound or disturbance around her.

She stops just on the other side of his hiding place, wings still apparent as she silently turns her head towards him, her gaze seeming to pierce the rubble between them.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Oh well, damnit. The Once-ler winces, his hand tightening on the handle of his axe. Go away, Sheena, just go away. Don't let it come to this]

[ninjainviolet]

[Sorry, Once-ler, but she has no choice, so please excuse the sudden burst of lightning that hits the barricade in order to destroy it.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[The Once-ler rolls out of the way, before pulling himself to his feet, trying to run to the nearest point of cover]

You know, you really need to talk to someone about these rage issues, Sheena.

[ninjainviolet]

[Surprise, Once-ler, but she doesn't rise to the bait in her usual vocal manner. Instead, her expression remains impassive, her eyes blank as she flies towards him, aiming another lightning bolt towards his intended destination.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He dodges behind another broken piece of building. Okay think think. He knows he put one around here somewh-AH!

He takes a moment to gather his strength, before standing and racing for a large hunk of rubble]

[ninjainviolet]

[An act immediately countered by Sheena moving at top speed to hover in front of him, blocking his access to the rubble.

Gone were the cards she had been holding; in their place were the tools of her trade:

Two well-kept and deadly kunai ready for use.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Wow, he really can't die today. He's not done with what he's come out here to do anyway. He still needs to get Martel out. He considers his options, before taking a hefty swing of his axe, not aiming to hit her as much as make her back up a little]

[ninjainviolet]

[Oh she backs up, only to charge forward once the blade passes by her. Surely he can't be quick enough to hit her on the return swing.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He really can't, and he doesn't WANT to anyway. He instead uses her charge forward to roll to one side, scrabbling at something in the ground. THERE they were. He casts Sheena a glance, before flicking his lighter on, dropping it to the ground.

...He has to time this exactly right now, or he will not have a pleasant end himself. Come on, Sheena, just a little closer]

[ninjainviolet]

[Oh, he doesn't have to worry about her coming after him. She's locked on to her prey and there's no stopping her in her mindless determination. Unfazed by his trick, she turns and gets another bead on him before with barely a warning flap of her wings, she charges straight for him, kunai at the ready.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[Perfect! As soon as she gets close enough, he jumps aside, taking cover behind the nearest piece of rubble he can find. The spot he was just occupying, now being occupied by one (1) Sheena, now explodes in a mess of fire and shrapnel]

[ninjainviolet]

[An explosion that catches her totally off-guard and not only sends her flying from the repercussion, but also sends several pieces of that shrapnel into her body. Bloodied and bleeding, she crashes into the ground, dazed.

A situation that will not last long as she's almost immediately making an effort to rise.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[He'll be using that time wisely, picking himself up and making a run for it. He should get enough distance now, at least, to get her following the false trail he left.

...Man breaking Martel out isn't an easy business ]

[ninjainviolet]

[Sheena rises to her feet and lifts herself airborne almost immediately, but there's no sign of him in the surrounding area. She's lost her instinct and true logic and does what one would expect from a drone:

Continues on in the direction he had been following before the explosion--whether it's correct or not.]

[whichwayyoulean]

[It's certainly not the right way to go, but that's exactly how the Once-ler planned it. Now to get to the main reason he came here in the first place...]
